Anything beyond Grull's or Kara gear are going to start getting better.Coral-Barbed Shoulderguards Much more Healing, slightly more int, but 3 less mp5. You also gain 2 Sockets which put these over the top if Spell Haste is not your thing although I see it as one of the rarest and most valuable stats.

Now onto the shouldguards themselves:

-700 Armor, I have no idea how much this helps but with mobs hitting harder and melee getting more armor penetration it is basically negligible.-17 Stamina, 170 Health, compared to most pvp and arena items this item is low on stamina-30 Intellect, 450 mana, (9 healing for shaman talent) about average for most shaman shoulders around this level-66 Healing, not a huge amount esspecially without sockets to fill in-9 mp5, simply above average-30 Spell Haste, this is the prettiest thing on these shoulders. I'm not good enough at math to figure out how much mana regen this averages out to be but you remain outside the 5 second rule for longer with quicker casts.--Healing Wave (2.5 sec) becomes 2.45 seconds--Lesser Healing Wave (1.5 sec) becomes 1.47 secondsPlease Correct me if my math is off
